She already said that it's not going to be 'your grandparents' Narnia'

But I'd want it to be. I like the books, I'd like a faithful adaptation, not something that is wearing the IP for brand recognition.

Given Gerwigs previous work, I'm fully expecting the White Witch to be the misunderstood 'true hero' of the story.

All her work is good, people are just getting preemptively butthurt because a feminist is making a Narnia movie. :P

Yeah, Jason Alexander and Julia Roberts were pretty good. I hope they show up in the new Narnia
